| Reverse description | Kore (Persephone) standing facing, rendered in full figure, flanked on either side by a tall poppy stalk, a divine attribute closely associated with the goddess in her role as queen of the underworld and patroness of the fertile Lydian plain. The figure is draped in a long chiton. The encircling Greek legend records the name of the local magistrate and the city's double neocorate status, running around the field. |
